R3D_L!Nk_D!$TR!ct - Porn loops from the dark age of porn
r3d L!nK D!$tR!cT is a «DIRTY»#REMIX version of some gifs from my other projects #PIRATEPORNOMATERIAL/1&2, a selection of pornographic contents found online.
I wished to make porn loops accessible via URL (browser) and QR-Code (stickers) for tablet and smartphone screens, the new peep show digital mobile devices, approaching gifs as Stan Brakhage approached films and approach porn as Lasse Braun did it producing film loops but, this is not the golden age of porn, Red Link District, as well as Pirate Porno Material 1&&2, are gif loops from the dark age of porn.

5. XXX Introduction XXX
r3d L!nK D!$tR!cT is a «DIRTY»#REMIX version of some gifs from my other
projects #PIRATEPORNOMATERIAL/1&2 (see slides 5 & 6), a selection of pornographic
contents found online. The original works were gifs running on various Tumblr’s pages
that I searched with Google using the search word #PORNGIF.
Placing a computer screen on the scanner of a Canon MG5150, I scanned the gifs as
they played on the screen. Once I saved the scanned files, I then converted those from
.pdf and .jpg into .raw, .tif, .bmp and databended them using Audacity 2.1.0 and GoldWave
V5.7. In Audacity I have installed a series of plugins (LADSPA, Nyquist and VST). I then
selected some frames to make gifs with PhotoScape and then I uploaded all of them on
the world wild web on this link http://redlinkdistrict.tumblr.com
There is also a video version available on the link https://vimeo.com/120950731
To make the video I first recorded and saved as .avi each gif (played with Irfanview)
using GifCam. I then databended each .avi file with Audacity and GoldWave, same version
of those mentioned above. The final video was edited using Sony Vegas Pro 13.0 (64-bit).
6. I wished to make porn loops accessible via URL (browser) and
QR-Code (stickers) for tablet and smartphone screens, the new
peep show digital mobile devices, approaching gifs as Stan
Brakhage approached films and approach porn as Lasse Braun
did it producing film loops but, this is not the golden age of porn,
Red Link District, as well as Pirate Porno Material 1&&2, are gif
loops from the dark age of porn.
